Welcome back to The Horror Project Podcast.
This week, Laura and Phil review The Bride! (2026). Set in 1930s Chicago, the film follows a scientist who brings a murdered young woman back to life as a companion for Frankenstein’s monster — with unexpected consequences.
We discuss the film’s box office performance and its place in the streaming landscape, as well as its reimagining of classic horror characters within a Bonnie and Clyde-style gangster setting.
We also explore the presence of Mary Shelley within the story, and Ida — also known as Penelope Rogers, and ultimately The Bride — as she searches for identity and independence. Plus, we take a look at the film’s feminist themes.
Thanks for listening!
